I always thought that pretzels looked like the face from the famous painting "The Scream" so what would be more perfect for a Halloween snack?

Melt White Chocolate

Either use chocolate chips or bars of baking chocolate, it does not matter.

I melted the chocolate in the microwave as it is to me the easiest way. Basically just put the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl and place in microwave. Set your microwave on 50% power and cook for 30 seconds. Take out and stir, put back in the microwave oven and repeat. When the chocolate is melted smooth you are done.

Dip each pretzel in the white chocolate making sure you cover it fully. Pull then out with a skewer and lay on a silicon mat. Once done, place the pretzels in the fridge to allow the chocolate to harden.

Now melt the dark chocolate using the same instructions as the white. Cut the corner of a zip-lock bag and spoon in warm melted chocolate. Squeeze the dark chocolate into the "eyes" and "mouth" of the pretzels. I was not too careful in this step and some got a bit messy but who cares! these are scary they should not be perfect!

Place them back in the fridge to harden and you are done!

I almost like the bottoms as much as the tops something about the flatness gives it a cool look.
